Upton Senior Center news for March & April

FREE! Featured Class—Chair Yoga with Crystal Lee

Thursdays in March at 9 a.m.

Chair yoga is a modified form of traditional yoga that is performed while seated in a chair. It is designed to make yoga accessible to individuals who may have difficulty standing or balancing on their own. Chair yoga poses are typically simpler and less physically demanding than traditional yoga poses. They focus on stretching, strengthening, and improving balance while seated. The poses can be adapted to suit individual needs and abilities.  


Line Dancing

Class Wednesdays at 1 p.m. 5 weeks  (March 19, 26; April 2, 9)

First session is free and then the cost to sign up is $20 for the remaining 4 sessions. Beginner line dancing class!

"This class will start with basic steps so no experience is necessary & no partner needed. Just bring your enthusiasm and a comfortable pair of shoes. Line dancing is an extremely fun way to exercise while also reducing stress. These dances will be put to all different types of music. Come by yourself or bring a friend"! "With a passion for music and exercise Marcus Mancini will be the instructor. He has over fifteen years in both taking and teaching line dancing. It all started for him with a class just like the one we are offering".
